THC stand for Tetrahydrocannabinol and it is the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis that causes feelings of euphoria. People who seek to induce euphoric sensations seek the products with the most THC (THC+); people seeking to minimize the psychoactivity of the plant, seek lowest levels of THC (THC-) THCA is a precursor to THC and it is listed as a reference. CBD is a different Cannabinoid than THC and has no psychoactive properties. In fact, medicine containing high levels of CBD will prevent the euphoric sensations caused by THC and it is prefered by patients who wish to avoid those sensations. Many states only allow the use of CBD cannabis. It is also the prefered medicine for children and animals to avoid the confusion that may be caused by psychoactivity.

The terms Sativa and Indica have been around for over 300 years. Sativa strains originated near the equator and the plants grow taller, slimmer, and with more narrow leaves. Indica strains originally developed in colder, more Northern latitudes and grow shorter, wider, and with fatter leaves. As time (and a lot of cross breeding) has gone on, the strains we have today are technically all hybrids but can span the range of heavily sativa dominant to heavily indica dominant.

It depends on your preferences. Our budtenders are happy to walk you through your options. Whatever form you choose, stick to a low dose, start slow and gradually build up to larger doses.

Edibles are great if you don’t like to smoke, you want to be discrete, and you’re looking for something that tastes like a treat! Edibles do generally take longer to take effect – anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. The effects usually last longer than other forms as well. Edibles are a great entry point but knowing your right dose is extremely important. 2-2.5MG of THC is a good dose to start with. Most people find that edibles that have CBD as well THC produce a more well-balanced effect and are therefore great for beginners.

Vapes are another great option for beginners. They’re very easy to use, they’re discrete, and the effects hit quickly so it’s easier to figure out your ideal dose. Start with a vape that has a higher ratio of CBD to THC when starting out.

For the cannabis purists, pre-rolls are a great option. They’re already rolled and easy to light. Pick a pre-roll that has a lower THC content along with some CBD. Mini pre-rolls are a good option for beginners – you won’t feel guilty if you don’t smoke the entire thing.
